Beef Chimichangas

Ingredients

Filling:

Vegetable Oil for frying1 - 2 lbs of lean ground beef.1- large onion chopped1- can green chiles, choppeda couple of good dashes of garlic salt..a couple of good dashes of Montreal steak seasoning (I use enough that I can see it in themeat when I am cooking it up in the skillet)6-fresh made Flour tortillas ( if you can't get fresh you can use the packaged ones)

Lightly brown your meat add all of the above and saute for about 15-20 minutes. Drain offgrease.

In another larger skillet fill about half full with vegetable oil and get it hot for frying.

Fill tortillas (about 2-3 tablespoons) with meat filling down the middle and fold each end in and roll upplacing a toothpick in the middle to keep it together when frying.

Place in hot oil and fry for about 5-8 minutes flipping it over till golden or light golden brown..Drain off oil; place in a baking dish to put in the ovenat very low heat (200 F) to keep warm till you have all of them fried up.

Once you have them all fried up place them on a plate and top off with lettuce, black olives, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and salsa
